China Express Airlines

China Express Airlines (IATA: G5, ICAO: HXA) is a Chinese airline established in 2006. The carrier operates from its primary hub at Guiyang Longdongbao International Airport, serving domestic and regional networks across China with a focus on connecting secondary cities and underserved markets.

The airline's fleet comprises two modern aircraft families: the Airbus A320, a single-aisle jet used for higher-capacity regional and domestic routes, and the Bombardier CRJ900, a regional turboprop-powered jet suited for shorter distances and smaller airports. This combination allows China Express to balance route flexibility with operational efficiency across varying demand patterns.

Operating from Guiyang, a major hub in southwestern China, China Express Airlines connects provincial centers and regional destinations. The airline's network strategy emphasizes point-to-point services and feed traffic to larger airline partners, maintaining a presence in China's expanding domestic aviation market since its founding.
